C-sharp

Semitone above C

C-sharp is a musical note one semitone higher than C, produced by raising C by a half step.

In musical notation, it's written with the sharp symbol (♯).

C-sharp major and C-sharp minor are keys built on this note.

Separately, C# (styled with the number sign) is a programming language developed by Microsoft, used primarily for Windows applications and game development.
